springtails

Springtails are an excellent live food and clean-up crew for various environments, particularly in terrariums, vivariums, and compost bins. They help maintain a healthy ecosystem by consuming mold, fungi, decaying plant matter, and organic waste, thus keeping the enclosure clean and reducing mold growth. Additionally, springtails serve as a nutritious live food source for small reptiles, amphibians, and invertebrates, providing essential nutrients while promoting natural behaviors. Their small size, rapid reproduction, and beneficial role make them a popular choice among hobbyists for both pest control and feeding purposes.
